Today is a big day for me. Party City is closing. After almost 40 years in business. I've wanted this for a long time. It's sad people will lose their jobs. But party city has always represented some of the most obvious darkness of consumerism to me. Everything in the store is made cheaply and meant to be thrown away. I hope the human energy that went into Party City will be allocated in a slightly more meaningful direction 🙏 RIP

I also just saw this. And agree with this take. I've seen a handful of movies at the Lincoln Square IMAX (largest in the americas). And have never felt one hit like this. The 70mm shots were surreal. Hard to explain.

Ade Fakile on his London club Plastic People (closed 2015). I love people who love stuff.

Less than 8 hours after the assassination of the CEO of United in Manhattan and there is already a VHS short film on the kid tracking the killers’ CitiBike ride using the Lyft app and a python script.

I guess in a few years we'll look back on Big Social the way we look back on Big Tobacco now. Except they'll have all our data and will have to make choices about what to do with it. I guess they'll just reward us enough to be chill.

Who do you think is consistently releasing excellent live sets? Four Tet is near the top of my list. This one was no exception. But always looking for more :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbWCjU2M5cQ

Has anyone read this? Finding mixed reviews online. Looks interesting.

Kai Cenat just concluded Mafiathon 2. He maintained 100-250k concurrent viewers for 30 days straight. And set records for new subs and revenue. His impact on young people (especially boys) on the internet is massive. At the end, he got on with his closest friends and they cried together. He talked about what it means to him to do this and encouraged people to chase their dreams. It’s a little endearing a little corny. But its a big deal for a man with this platform to get on there and express himself this way. With his friends around him, encouraging him to let it out. The internet will never not be a dark forest, but it’s reassuring to know young men have some role models with emotional depth :)

Have talked to several people 60+ yrs who have been shocked that Wicked is part one of a series. They’re flabbergasted that a three hour movie is not the whole story. People my age expected it. Cool insight into the hyperfinancialization of culture/media and the numbness that comes with being younger and more online.

LLMs slowly warping my tolerance for nonessential information. My own fault for using Fandango I guess, but insta closed the tab. Nothing against Wicked - but I am in search of information.
